数字技能水平对农民收入增长的驱动效应研究OA

Based on the data of the China Household Panel Survey(China Family Panel Studies,CFPS)from 2016 to 2020,this paper empirically analyzed the driving effect of digital skill level on farmers'income growth,and explored the mediating role of Internet training and learning.By constructing the benchmark regression and mediating effect model,the results showed that:first,the digital skill level had a significant positive driving effect on the growth of farmers'income.When the digital skill level index increased by 1 unit,the average increase of farmers'income was about 4.7%.Second,the driving effect of digital skill level in different regions was different:for every 1 unit increase in the digital skill level index,the farmers'income increases by 7.2%,6.3%and 4.8%in the eastern,central and western regions,respectively.The driving effect is the strongest in the eastern region,followed by the central and western regions,which was closely related to the differences in regional economic foundation,infrastructure and policy support.Third,training and learning played a partial mediating role in the relationship between digital skill level and farmers'income growth,indicating that digital skill improvement was an important transmission path.Furthermore,the robustness tests including substitution variables,propensity score matching and tail shrinking treatment supported the above conclusions.Therefore,we propose to increase investment in digital skills and improve the level of informatization;to formulated differentiated digital rural development strategies;and to strengthen policy guidance and support to promote farmers'income and other countermeasures and suggestions.
